not the holiday inn

Truth or Consequences, NM is a funny town. It’s kind of hip with boutiques, a bunch of fine art galleries, natural hot spring spas, and even a 5 star resort. But it’s also a super cheap place to live. It’s half Aspen and half BFE. Charming, yet remote.


casa taco

This place has the best tacos in Elephant Butte, NM. It doesn’t have much competition either, but it’s still really good. I love the framed pictures of animals to hunt. I don’t think you can find half of them in these parts of New Mexico.

If you’re wondering where this lovely location is, it’s about 5 miles south of Albuquerque, NM.


Book 3 Updated

Book 3 Updated

Since moving into the studio this summer, I’ve had a number of very cool still life assignments and some fun personal projects. I’m really proud of this new work and put some of them in my BOOK 3 portfolio. I think what I like most about the new shots is that the don’t look like [...]


back in the sadle

I had a great trip, but it’s good to be home. I had every intention of photoblogging remotely, but it just didn’t happen. My immediate family hadn’t been all together in over 5 years, so I wanted to spend as much time with everyone as possible. You know how it goes. I did take a [...]


kerplunk!

We’re heading on down to New Mexico for the holidays. The photoblog posts may be a little infrequent this week, but I’m going to try to post while we’re away. If you subscribe to the RSS feed, you’ll automatically be notified of any new posts. Family vacations for me are kind of like Festivus. We’ll [...]

The Grand Canyon is one of those places where it never quite fits in your brain. It’s huge and you are small. It’s quite humbling.

dog days

I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but thank you to everyone for making comments on my photoblog. I don’t get a chance to reply to every comment, but I just wanted you know I really appreciate the feedback. Have a great weekend!


90 degrees from yesterday

Shot from the same place as yesterday, just pivoted 90°.

Almost run out of pictures from Eastern Oregon. We’re going to New Mexico next week for Thanksgiving and that always is a good photo trip. I’m trying to figure out what to shoot this week to post for next week. Any requests?


Teaching Mt. Hood Photo Students

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being a guest lecturer for Jen Brinkman’s photography class that she teaches at Mt. Hood Community College. This is the third year that I’ve done it. For the class, I go over architectural photography basics and lighting techniques. We usually do a demo and then I give a prepared [...]

I was literally driving underneath these windmills. No one else was around. It was really bizarre. I was literally driving underneath these windmills. No one else was around. It was really bizarre.

mile 23

I was wondering when it would happen. I’ve been obsessed with the number 23 since I was in high school. My friend Zack had just finished reading The Illuminatus! Trilogy and had me convinced aliens were in control of the world and proved their existence by using the number 23. Michael Jordan’s number was 23 [...]


rt. 206 – eastern oregon

I drove to Eastern Oregon last weekend just to check it out. It’s probably one of few places in the U.S. that is just wide open nothingness. I sometimes walk around Portland wondering what the land looked like 300 years ago before white people came in and set up shop. Even though I was on [...]

happy birthday!

Lauren wore that hat on our first photo date together. We’ve remained camera nerds ever since. Guess we were made for each other.
